Just posted a few more this morning:

236) Some sort of tool for pressing a pin out or in? Perhaps for
roller drive chains?
Correct, it's for bike chains, I'm not familiar with roller drive chains.
I bike chain is only one example (and size) of roller drive
chain. Larger ones are used in motorcycles, and they are used in
various pieces of equipment elsewhere. I have a tiny one which was used
to transfer the rotation of a knob to the shaft of a switch somewhat
remotely located. A larger one is used in the Logan shaper to drive the
bull gear from the motor in the base.
237) A set of Starrett compound leverage end cutter pliers (Cutnippers).
Except that the replaceable blades don't look right. I suspect
that this has been modified to act as a crimper. These are
normally available with either tool steel blades or carbide
blades, and are normally used for cutting things like (hardened
spring) music wire.
Yes, someone from Starrett also suggested that they might have been
modified.
Very likely.
There are two sizes of these, and mine are the smaller ones (No
1-5-1/2"). This marking is right where the "S-Y" marking is on
your example.
It's hard to read, but for the record mine says "S-7".
O.K. The other size is a 7" one, so the part number may reflect
that. Looking in an old Starrett catalog, I see that the wire cutters
are "No. 1" (followed by some suffix), and the same plier bodies, but
with tile-cutting blades, bears a "235" part number.
Note that there is an adjustable stop screw in the center of the
spring (from the left-hand handle a shown), to adjust so the
blades *almost* but not quite touch after re-sharpening. (The
instruction slip packed with them suggests 0.001" clearance.)

I hadn't noticed the stop screw, thanks for the info.
It helps that I have bought them new, and thus gotten the
instruction sheet which accompanies them.
238) K-ration can opener.
Correct.
239) Some form of lens hood? I can't see the small end, to tell
whether it is open, and threads into a lens. If so, the slots
may allow the large end to be stored reversed on a lens body.
The bottom of this one isn't open, it's not a lens hood.
I have now read what it is.
240) Pliers to expand the inside of something -- perhaps flexible
tubing prior to slipping onto a fitting?
Yes, it's for expanding something, but not for tubing.
And this.
Out of curiosity -- why do you keep accepting guesses after you
have posted the answers?
Enjoy,
DoN.
